Home and community are fundamental foundations for every single life, essential for the growth and success of all people. At Lutheran Social Services of Michigan, we seek to firm up every home and community throughout the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.

Where you live, whatever your lifestyle, you'll find a place to call home with LSSM Senior Living.

Children and Families

LSSM’s Children and Families offers programs in adoption, foster care, refugee services, family preservation and community centers.

LSSM

Our Vision is to build communities of service that meet the needs of people, promoting human dignity and advocating equality and justice, serving people as an expression of the love of Christ.

One of Michigan’s largest shelter for homeless families, the Wayne County Family Center, emphasizes the importance of fathers and encourages them to stay with their families as staff guide them toward viable solutions to get back on their feet.

This summer, the Wayne County Family Center Servant Project invites people, organizations and communities to take part in bolstering this unique refuge by contributing to the renovation of the facility and its program coffers.

We all need a solid home base to help us grow to our full potential. If it takes a village to raise a child, it may also require a community to form a healthy family.

At Lutheran Social Services of Michigan, we seek to empower families toward strength and wholeness. Our programs guide families along the path of staying intact, and when that is not possible, we help children find safe, nurturing alternative settings where they can flourish and thrive.

LSSM Home Care solutions offer independence and a sense of connection, allowing people to remain in their natural environments for as long as possible – perhaps throughout the duration of their lives. Our Group Homes offer Persons with Disabilities independence while fostering community among residents. Outings, activities and camaraderie form the backbone of life for these communities. Our HUD Subsidized Housing provides safe, clean, affordable homes for people who need it. We are proud to offer exactly what Michigan residents need to maintain home and community at every stage of life.

LSSM serves older adults through senior living residences, rehabilitation services, assisted living facilities, memory care units, skilled nursing programs, home care and HUD subsidized housing. Connecting with our overall vision of sharing in life with all, and upholding every individual’s dignity and health, we help older adults find their place in the aging process so they can fulfill their life’s potential every single day.
